pistachio nut
Split green shell
A pistachio nut is the edible seed of the pistachio tree, encased in a hard shell that splits partially open when ripe.
The kernel is pale green with a distinctive sweet, slightly earthy flavor.
Pistachios are eaten as snacks, often roasted and salted, and used in desserts, ice cream, and Middle Eastern cuisine: a bowl of pistachio nuts, baklava studded with pistachios.
